Killer JoeZangief is Red Cyclone! He fight to end Shadowlaw's Buddha laser! Bitches cry at Final Atomic Buster! Glasnost? Perestroika? Da. Whatever you need for sleeping. But Zangief is bad?
Zangief is badass.
Is close enough.

SqueamishI want to like it, but it seems a little soulless - like Cars, Cars 2, or the other crappy Dreamworks movies.

And hello, The Rocketeer? Pollyanna? Avonlea and Anne of Green Gables? The Pirates of the Caribbean (the first one). Disney has made a number of amazing live action movies, and I'm hoping they stop making everything they make on their cable channel as it is all irredeemable.

SteamPoweredKleenexOther than in rendering CGI in movies, when do computer and/or video games EVER work realistically in Hollywood?

Wargames managed voice synthesis over a 300baud modem, after all.

I figure this kind of thing will only worsen as the GUI interface divorces us more and more from how computers operate, turning them into magic items that grant wishes or punish you for not performing the proper rituals.

themilksharkTOY STORY ISN'T HOW TOYS WORK EITHER! MOVIES ARE MAKING US DUMMER!

WHO WANTS DESSERT5 stars just for the fact that over the course of my life I've gone from nobody recognizing my home-made Mario costume when I was a kid to Disney making a movie about videogames.

Shoebox JoeJesus Christ, I don't know what to think about this. They got Talking Heads, Skrilles, and up front references of old and new. I think they're trying to create an apocolyptic scenario at the theatres as the old nerds become resentful of the nerdlings.

I'm gonna sit on the bench at opening night and wait for the clawings to commence.

themilksharkOld nerds feeling resentful is not a sign of the apocalypse. It's regular life.

Shoebox JoeTrue, but these are theatres full. In a way I may have overlooked the lack of physical violence, but the amount of steam could bring down hundreds of theatres as a mold epidemic ensues.

Ursa_minorI like this but I have that terrible feeling that they screwed it up. There is so much comedy in the idea of game jumping and working within certain games hilarious logic systems, but I doubt they will pay attention to that.

memedumpsterMy first reaction to this was "I should have seen Avatar in the theater so I could have a memory of when movies were better."

Time to eat a bullet.

NewHeavenSalesmanI spent the entire trailer wondering why they had the balding zombie model from House of the Dead holding two axes, when the axe zombie model was a blonde haired and wearing a lumberjack shirt. This existential crisis over my useless vidya gaem knowledge was interrupted only by my wincing at the q-bert joke.

This movie is going to be a dull lump blunted by innumerable script "re-tunings."

CornOnTheCabreYeah, this movie definitely strikes me as something that has more screenwriters than it has voice talent.

CratovicActually, the zombie they're using does hold two axes. It's known as Cyril and appears in the first House of the Dead. The one you're thinking of is Johnny from House of the Dead 2.

NewHeavenSalesmanthis is normally where I'd mock you for knowing the zombie names from house of the dead, but I appreciate the correction.

NewHeavenSalesmanalso upon looking this up, apparently the rhino dude was the final boss from altered beast, though I don't feel bad for missing that because fuck altered beast

deadpanStill, I am looking forward to the angry Youtube rants this movie will inspire.

Not looking forward to the slash fanfiction so much.

ChalkdustI would like to just chime in and say this is being directed by Rich Moore, who helmed some of the all-time classic Simpsons episodes, including "Flaming Moe's", "A Streetcar Named Marge", "The Front" (where Bart and Lisa write Itchy & Scratchy episodes), and perhaps the greatest episode of all time, "Marge vs. the Monorail".
